If Bacardi was there at the bar for a promotion and the person pouring the drink was either an employee of the bar or Bacardi...then liability can lie with both. Not on grounds of product defects, but on vicarious liability of the bar's patrons and/or the employer's employee. The lawyer is suing on the wrong grounds in my opinion.

The person who lit the menu is only important in the suit, if they were an employee of either the bar or Bacardi. Otherwise, they are more likely to be criminally charged and possibly sued in civil court which irrelevant to the lawsuit itself.

I am an ins. agent, not an attorney...my job is to find and sell coverage to either company so they are covered for these sorts of things.

You can't stop stupid people from suing or just plain...being stupid. However, you should plan on them being around.
